Heath Morrison, Washoe County School District superintendent, called the selection of Garcia "well-deserved." Morrison said Garcia is "an excellent reporter who really does her homework, treats everyone with respect and always goes the extra mile to be fair and accurate in her reporting."
Garcia regularly attends and reports on meetings of the district's Board of Trustees. She attends most town hall meetings and participates in other board activities.
"Jessica approaches every story and every subject with an open mind and a willingness to learn and get all the facts," said board president Barbara Clark. "She understands the challenges that our schools face. She is focused on understanding issues and reporting all sides of a story fairly."
Garcia also played a key role in ensuring community participation as WCSD searched for a new superintendent. She regularly attended every meeting, candidate interview and town hall forum. The resulting coverage helped encourage and inform the community to take part in the selection process.
Garcia also was recognized at Tuesday's board meeting.

Fifty-eight members were promoted during the ceremony at the Fire Academy.
The FDNY kicked off 2013 with an enthusiastic promotions ceremony on Jan. 2. The ceremony at the Fire Academy saw 58 members promoted.
"When in an emergency, we need men and women who will run into danger, not away from it," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "So I think all New Yorkers will say job well done to all of you."
Among the promoted members were 16 elevated to the rank of battalion chief, one to supervising fire marshal, 30 to lieutenant and 11 to fire marshal.
The promoted members, who will be assigned to units throughout the five boroughs.
"This is a great way to start the year," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. "Today you should reflect on what you've done to get you to this point in your careers."
Everyone noted the hard work done by the members in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many offering to help others even though their own homes were damaged.
"There is a theme of the Department being a community and its members working to make this city better," Chief of Department Edward Kilduff said. "Nobody responds better than the FDNY."

About us
Meditation (2009) by Patrick Scott, one of Ireland's greatest living artists, is the title image for a major series of exhibitions which will take place from December this year to celebrate the work of Irish contemporary artists and 60 years of support for the sector by the Arts Council.
Into the Light: the Arts Council - 60 Years of Supporting the Arts has been developed by lead curator, Karen Downey and is a partnership between the Arts Council and a number of prominent Irish art galleries. Partner curators have been invited to select works from the Arts Council collection and to create exhibitions which reflect the interests and ethos of their individual institutions.
The exhibitions will include over 150 works from the Arts Council collection. Many of the works have been recalled from loan locations across the country and will be on display at the following locations:
Speaking today, Ms Pat Moylan, Chairman of the Arts Council, said: "the Arts Council has been supporting artists and the development of the arts in Ireland for 60 years. The first meeting of the Arts Council took place in January 1952, just a few years after Ireland declared itself a Republic. Considering this in the context of cultural and artistic developments in Ireland since that time, the Arts Council is proud and privileged to have played a small but significant part in that dynamic and ambitious journey towards a modern Ireland."
"When Council considered how it might mark its 60th anniversary, it was agreed that core, long-term ambitions should be reflected. Primary amongst these have been the support of artists in the production of their work and opportunities for the public to see and experience art. Consequently, a major event showcasing the Arts Council's collection seemed appropriate."
Ms Orlaith McBride, Director of the Arts Council said: "We are very excited about this initiative which is the first-of its-kind in the history of the Arts Council and has involved a significant recall of works currently out on loan to public institutions. This collection is one manifestation of the support given to artists by the Arts Council over the past 60 years and each partner gallery will be displaying a different set of magnificent works. The Council believes it is a fitting way to mark its 60 years."
"Arts and culture are essential to rebuilding our national self-confidence and restoring our reputation abroad. By bringing the work of great Irish artists to the Irish people, we can help Ireland realise its creative potential and foster artistic inclusion in communities across the country. Our intention is to bring the work of Ireland's visual artists 'into the light' as President Higgins urged recently on the RTE Masterpiece show."
"The collection, which was formally established in 1962, is not a 'museum-like' or definitive collection representing an Irish art canon. Instead, its development was guided by the deeply held principles of assisting artists to make a living from their work and of using that work to provide opportunities for the public to experience art in their locality. These values still endure, with the Council buying from contemporary artists while also ensuring that the majority of the collection remains out on loan in local libraries, museums, hospitals and other public buildings."
"Into the Light pays tribute to a distinctive national collection that has been active for 50 years tracking contemporary visual arts developments as they emerged."
"The Arts Council hopes that people throughout the country will visit at least one of the four partner venues hosting the exhibitions, or maybe those who are really inspired (or curious) will visit all four! Our intention is to bring the work of Ireland's visual artists into the light, as these exhibitions showcase many of the cultural and artistic riches that our country has produced over the lifespan of the Arts Council."

The eDiscovery Trinity: Spoliation Sanctions, Keywords and Predictive CodingMonday, May 20th, 2013
The world of eDiscovery appears to be revolving around a trifecta of issues that are important to both clients and counsel. A discovery-focused conversation with litigants and lawyers in 2013 will almost invariably turn to some combination of this eDiscovery trinity: Spoliation sanctions, keyword searches and predictive coding. This should not come as a surprise since all three of these issues can have a strong impact on the cost, duration and disposition of a lawsuit. Indeed, the near universal desire among parties to minimize discovery costs and thereby further the resolution of cases on the merits has driven the Civil Rules Advisory Committee to explore ways to address the eDiscovery trinity in draft amendments to the Federal Rules.
While the proposed amendments may or may not succeed in reducing discovery expenses, the examples of how the eDiscovery trinity is playing out in litigation are instructive. These cases – bereft of the additional guidance being developed by the Advisory Committee – provide valuable insight on how courts, counsel and clients are handling the convergence of these issues. One such example is a recent decision from the DuPont v. Kolon Industries case.
Spoliation, Keywords and a $4.5 Million Sanction
In DuPont, the court awarded the plaintiff manufacturer $4.5 million in fees and costs that it incurred as part of its effort to address Kolon's spoliation of ESI. In an attempt to stave off the award, Kolon argued that DuPont's fees were not justified due to "inefficiencies" associated with DuPont's review of Kolon's document productions. In particular, Kolon complained about the extensive list of search terms that DuPont developed to comb through the ESI Kolon produced. According to Kolon, DuPont's search methodology was "recklessly inefficient":
DuPont's forensic experts ran a list of almost 350 "keywords," which yielded thousands of "false positives" that nevertheless had to be translated, analyzed, and briefed. Of the nearly 18,000 "hits," only 1,955 (roughly 10 percent) were determined to be even "potentially relevant." Thus, to state the obvious, 90 percent of the results were wholly irrelevant to the issue, but DuPont still seeks to tax Kolon for having the bulk of those documents translated and analyzed.
Kolon then asserted that the "reckless inefficiency" of the search methodology was "fairly attributable to the fact that DuPont ran insipid keywords like 'other,' 'news,' and 'mail.'" Had DuPont been more precise with its keywords searches, argued Kolon, it "would have saved vast amounts of time and money."
Before addressing the merits of Kolon's arguments, the court observed how important search terms had become in discovery:
Of course, in the current world of litigation, where so many documents are stored and, hence, produced, electronically, the selection of search terms is an important decision because it, in turn, drives the subsequent document discovery, production and review.
After doing so, the court rejected Kolon's arguments, finding instead that DuPont's search methodology was reasonable under the circumstances. The court based its decision on the source of those search terms (derived from Kolon documents suggesting that ESI had been deleted), the "considerable volume" of Kolon's productions and the nature of DuPont's search (an investigation for deleted evidence).
The Impact of Predictive Coding on DuPont's Search Efficiency
While DuPont considered the issues of spoliation and keywords in connection with the imposition of attorney fees and costs, it was silent on the impact that predictive coding might have had on the fee award. Indeed, neither the court's order, nor the parties' briefing considered whether the proper application of machine learning technology could have raised the success rate of DuPont's searches for documents relevant to Kolon's spoliation above the ten percent (10%) figure cited by Kolon.
On the one hand, many eDiscovery cognoscenti would likely assert that a properly applied predictive coding solution could have produced the same corpus of relevant documents at a fraction of the cost and effort. Others, however, might argue that predictive coding perhaps would not yield the results that DuPont obtained through keyword searches given that DuPont was looking for evidence of deleted ESI. Still others would contend that the issue is moot since DuPont was fully within its right to determine how it should conduct the search of Kolon's document productions.
Whether predictive coding could have made a difference in DuPont is entirely speculative. Regardless, the debate over keyword searches versus machine learning technology will likely continue unabated. As it stands, the DuPont case, together with the recent decision from Apple v. Samsung, confirm that keywords may be an acceptable method for conducting searches for relevant ESI. The issue, as the DuPont court observed, turns on "the selection of the search terms."
Nevertheless, the promise of predictive coding cannot be ignored, particularly if the technology that is used could ultimately reduce the costs and duration of discovery. Given that this debate is far from settled, these issues, along with spoliation sanctions, will likely continue to dominate the eDiscovery airwaves for the foreseeable future.

Braves End Saints' Streak with 2-1 Decision
PEMBROKE, N.C. – The North Georgia College & State University men's soccer team fell 2-1 to the University of North Carolina Pembroke Saturday afternoon, seeing their streak of six-straight games with a positive result come to an end at the hand of the Braves.
With the loss, the Saints move to 6-4-2 overall with a 2-2-2 record in league action while the Braves are now 9-3-0 and 4-3 in the PBC.
The game progressed scoreless through the first period with UNCP edging North Georgia 5-2 in first half shots.
Following the intermission, Amin El-Shami finally broke through to put the Saints on the board first as he dribbled past UNCP defenders into the middle of the box where he delivered a shot into the net just 2:23 into the second period.
The Braves were then able to find the answer just four minutes later when Rico Latinen scored off a corner kick by Jeff MacDonald.
Sean Hoek then found the go-ahead goal in the 75th minute when he placed a penalty kick into the net.
The two teams ended the 90-minute contest tied 12-12 in shots with the Braves' goalkeeper holding the 4-2 advantage in saves.
The Saints will be off until next Saturday, Oct. 20 when they hit the road again, this time for St. Augustine, Fla. where they will take on the Saints of Flagler College in another PBC doubleheader. The women will get things started at 1:00 p.m. before the men take to the field at around 3:30 p.m.

Rain in the desert - Monsoon in Jaisalmer
Wherever I go, I seem to take the weather with me. It rained in the hills, in the sea, in the forests, in cities, in villages, but I did not expect it to rain in the desert. My first glimpse of rain in Jaisalmer was from my hotel room in Suryagarh, a palatial citadel. The stark landscape was drenched. I was warned not to step out as the roads were flooded and vehicles were getting stuck. I was prepared for the rains, but I was not prepared for flooding. Later, as the fury of the rains abated, I stepped out to see the rain swept villages experiencing the magic of the monsoons.

Terrible Customer Service, good selection of materials – Their products are fine, the customer service is just plain terrible. The manager Donna, simply refuses to have contact with customers when a problem arises.
I ordered gravel to be delivered in containers, paying extra because I didn't have the space to have it dumped on the ground. I told them to have the driver call me before delivery so I could explain where to dump it. They said no problem. Well I got home to find a big pile of gravel dumped blocking my driveway, WTF.
Needless to say they have been less than helpful in resolving this issue. Both salespeople I've spoken with told me I had to talk to Donna to resolve the problem. I have left three messages and even when they tell me she is there and they will transfer my call it goes to her voicemail and I never get a call back.
I have been a customer of theirs for several years, but this is the first time I've had to deal with an order problem. They have a few things to learn about customer service, most importantly not to just completely ignore a legitimate complaint hoping it goes away.

This village in the Arán valley east of Vielha is home to the 11C church of Sant Pedro, one of the finest examples of Aranese Romanesque architecture. The local Romanesque style, which emerged later than in other regions, is characterised, amongst other things, by the basilica-style plan of the churches, which have three naves with barrel vaulting and are extended by apsidal chapels.

People, heres the spot for any questions you want to ask Brian and Scott this coming Tuesday. Were integrating the Ustream into weezer.com so you can watch Rivers' pre-show warmups all in one spot, and in honor of that were doing a pre-pre-show Q+A session at 7pm CST on Tuesday. I'll be there with Scott and Brian and we'll be winging it, going off of any questions you add here, plus whatever you ask or say live, in the Ustream chat itself. Cross your fingers, the tech people say its gonna work!
Views: 221
can we get an update on any new weezer material?
You play to such a range of audiences at different types of venues. Is there a particular type of event you prefer over others? For example is the shared experence of a festival more enjoyable than that of an individual show where you are the only band playing?
(I'm writing from Australia by the way. We miss you here). :)
can you give me free tickets to the Toronto show?
No but seriously, it would be cool to find out what the plans are for the next album. Are they still considering only releasing singles and no full length albums?
Also, how the memories tour has effected them, and if that could effect their output of future music.
Scott and/or Brian:
What's your favorite song to play live? Favorite venue/city?
How much longer do you see yourself rockin' with Weezer? Any plans for a future in music after the Weez?
What's your best memory from being a part of Weezer?
For Brian: What's it like having so much sass?
How did it come about that Scott usually sings "Dope Nose" on tour, and I've often seen Brian singing "Why Bother?" Were these personal favorites of yours, or how was this decided?
And Brian, where do you draw your style influence from? You always have such sassy outfits.
Is there any chance of you guys doing a tour where you only play deeper cuts that don't usually get played? The possibility of hearing things like O Girl, The Angel and the One and Waiting on You would be beyond awesome! Perhaps you could do it on a club tour and assemble Goat Punishment again ^_^
You guys have been recording all together in a live formation for your last three song releases (The State Farm Song, You Might Think and Paranoid Android) and personally, I love the energy you guys capture when recording in this way, it's extremely noticeably different to the cut and paste job of something like Hurley. For your next album do you think you'll continue recording in this manner?
Does your cover of Paranoid Android, Rivers' studying of new guitar techniques and the band's recent collective interest in prog-rock suggest that future Weezer output may be more complex and mature in the vein of Radiohead and Pink Floyd?
Have a great day guys!
Brian: Ask Rivers when Alone 3 is coming out and answer this question with his response.
Scott: Do you do any solo stuff by yourself or do you contribute everything you work on to Weezer?

Staff Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Patriot Way.
Tom Brady may be headed to the Hall of Fame, but he still works as hard as any rookie trying to make the team. And that rubs off on his New England teammates.
Photos by The Associated Press
Wes Welker is a free agent after this season, and the Patriots will miss him if they do not re-sign him. In five of his six seasons with New England, he has caught at least 100 passes.
We've heard that phrase for years, used to describe what it is that allows the New England Patriots to remain at the top of the NFL despite an ever-changing roster, new personalities and injuries.
"It's very contagious," said tight end Michael Hoomanawanui, a third-year NFL player but first-year Patriot. "That's the word I would use.
"From Day One, coming in here and learning the Patriot Way it's easy to become part of and to buy into. They've obviously been successful around here for many years. It wasn't just an overnight thing."
Since Tom Brady took over from Drew Bledsoe as Bill Belichick's quarterback in the 2001 season, the Patriots have become the NFL's best franchise.
Three Super Bowl championships. Five AFC titles. A seventh appearance in the AFC championship game at 6:30 p.m. Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Gillette Stadium.
"As a player," said cornerback Aqib Talib, another first-year Patriot, "if you could pick where you could play at, you would want to play for a team like the Patriots."
Talib didn't join the team until Nov. 1, when he was acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay. Extremely talented, he came with baggage -- he was serving a four-game suspension for taking a banned substance when New England traded for him -- but has fit in quite well, solidifying a secondary that was suspect.
No one is surprised at this.
Perhaps better than any other team, the Patriots take care of their own. They take in rookies or outsiders and teach them how to act. The Patriot Way is passed down from generation to generation.
"I learned a long time ago from Tedy Bruschi, (Mike) Vrabel, Willie McGinest, Rodney Harrison, (Richard) Seymour," said defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, now in his ninth season. "I learned from some of the best that ever played here."
What, exactly, did Wilfork learn?
"You can't be selfish playing here," he said. "It's not about you. It's team. And if you buy into that you'll be very successful.
"And that's the one thing this organization has had for a long time, guys who have come here and were not selfish, that put the team first. Because it is a team sport. You need everybody working on the same page. If you have one or two guys that's not, you can be in big trouble."
But it's more than that. The Patriots, said linebacker Jerod Mayo, look at the person first, not just the player.
"It starts at the top with the Kraft family," said Mayo, of the owner, Robert Kraft, and his late wife, Myra. "It's not only being a good football player but a good person. And following that line."
As the snow fell across the region Wednesday morning, slowing commuter traffic to a crawl, Mayo spoke about what it takes to be a good football team.
"We talk if you want to be a good football team, you'll never be stuck in rush-hour traffic," he said. "You want to be the first one here and the last one to leave. I think guys really buy into that. I think guys that come in from other teams, they follow the lead of the bulk of this team and it's worked."
They follow the lead of the veterans like Wilfork, like Mayo, like Brady. When you talk about this team's success, Brady's name usually precedes it. He is, in many ways, the soul of this team.
When he talks, other players listen. When he does something, they want to follow.
"He commands the game like no other," said Mayo. "I love watching him from the sidelines."

Roaden, the university's president from 1974 to 1985, spoke to the 645 graduates at the fall commencement ceremony in Hooper Eblen Center on Saturday just prior to a ceremony to change the name of Tennessee Tech's University Center to "The Arliss L. Roaden University Center." He recalled stories, including personal ones, which emphasized the value of acknowledging good student-professor relationships.
"Saying 'thank you' to a teacher even years later helps both the person who says it and the person to whom it is said," said Roaden. "According to an old proverb, 'Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them.'"
Calling it "one of the most emotionally moving stories that I have read in a very long time," Roaden led his audience through the story of Mitch Albom, the author of a recent best-selling book, Tuesdays with Morrie. It's the story of Albom's relationship with his favorite professor, Morrie Swartz, and the resolution of an unfulfilled promise to keep in touch with the professor after graduation.
"Sixteen years after graduation, Albom saw Morrie being interviewed by Ted Koppel on 'Nightline,'" Roaden explained. "Morrie was in a wheelchair dying of Lou Gehrig's Disease, and Morrie was upbeat, narrating his trip between life and death."
"Albom flew to see his professor; they embraced; and Morrie whispered to his former student, 'My old friend, you've come back at last,'" Roaden related. Each Tuesday for the next 14 weeks, until the professor's death, the student and teacher met, and Albom recorded the "special lessons" which constituted the substance of his book.
"As I reflect on the educational enterprise, it is that indescribable transaction between teacher and learner that sparks a real difference in the rest of our lives," Roaden said.
Roaden reminisced about his favorite professor, Orin Graff, and the lessons Graff taught him about life.
"His basic lesson for me was, 'Don't make a career decision based on money,'" Roaden said. "And his second lesson was, 'Take a job where you can make a difference.' Over the years, I have never made a career decision based on money, yet, I have never suffered for lack of basic essentials.
"There is something extra special about Tennessee Technological University," Roaden concluded. "This university has a rich history of dedicated, committed faculty members who love teaching, and they love their students."
Tennessee Tech officials returned the praise in an emotional ceremony following commencement when they unveiled the plaque marking the Arliss L. Roaden University Center. The building, which houses most of TTU's student services, has become the hub of student activity since it was built in 1971.
"It is with great pleasure that we honor, today, a man who has made many contributions to higher education in general and, more specifically, to Tennessee Technological University," said TTU President Angelo Volpe.
Roaden's career has been devoted solely to education. From 1962 to 1974, he was a member of the faculty at The Ohio State University and served as dean of the graduate school and vice provost for research in his final years there before being named president of TTU. In 1985, he was appointed executive director of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, a post he would hold until his retirement in 1995.
During Roaden's 11 years as president of Tennessee Tech, the College of Business earned full accreditation, the school of nursing and MBA studies program were established. Three university professorships were created and the state approved the formation of four research centers of excellence. The Bryan Fine Arts building was proposed, approved and built, and the university also acquired the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Crafts.
"The Tennessee Tech family could think of no better way to honor this stalwart of an educational leader than to have his name enshrined on one of the most prominent, most visible, and most highly trafficked facility on campus," remarked Leo McGee, TTU's associate vice president for Academic Affairs and ceremony emcee. McGee, an administrator under Roaden at The Ohio State University, came to Tennessee Tech at his mentor's invitation.
Roaden continues to take a leadership role with a number of organizations, including Phi Delta Kappa International; the National Parent Teachers Association; the Institute for Educational Policy; Celebration of Education 2000; the National Center for Youth Issues; and STARS (Students Taking a Right Stand), a drug, alcohol and violence prevention program in schools.
Students graduating from Tennessee Tech this term represented 17 other states, 68 Tennessee counties and 16 foreign countries. Degrees were awarded in 40 undergraduate fields of study and 16 graduate fields.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"I really like the looks of this card and the paper was great. The back is design is by far the best I have seen and I like mostly for that. Though, the respondence card was not printed very well. Where it says kindly, you can hardly see the 'k' because of how it is written to go off the card."
"I am so pleased with how these invitations turned out! Our pictures were vintagey, so I opted to make the Date a more script font. I also liked the look of the black Date in contrast with the white info sections on the outsides. The quality was excellent. I love the feel of the cardstock and both font and photos turned out crisp. One note though, the proof that I approved before they printed did not match the actual product I was sent. I only noticed this because in the original one I created/approved, I made a point to let my ring show in-between my name and the word "and". This wasn't the case with the invitations that were delivered. Once I noticed this I noticed several other things had changed with the formatting (spacing between lines, font size). But honestly the formatting flowed even better than it had when I had initially created/approved it, so I'm not complaining. Overall, these turned out absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend them!"
"I had a great experience with the professional printing service! Even noticed a typo right before I approved my design, and I was able to upload a new image and change the typo without much delay. The pearlescent paper turned out beautifully. Guests are already sending me messages about how great the invites are! I'm so glad I chose Wedding Paper Divas to print my self-designed invites. Not to mention the turn-around time was very quick--which is perfect for a procrastinator like myself!"
"I am so glad that I chose these for my invitations, I am very pleased with the quality and my order came right on time. The designer had wonderful suggestions and I completely trusted everything they said."
"Really happy with this invitation, just what we wanted. Simply but eye-catching. Picture we used was black and white, so the white font really stood out."

For details about student employment, please see the Foothill-DeAnza Student Employment Policies &
Procedures Manual
Student employment opportunities at Foothill College are part-time positions. Wages begin at $8 per hour and can reach $14.75 per hour. Students are limited to working a maximum of 19 hours per week. This limit applies whether school is in session or not. To be eligible for student employment, a student must have:
The Federal Work-Study Program provides job opportunities on campus (on a first-come, first-served basis)
for students who have applied for federal financial aid at Foothill and been offered a
FWS award based on financial need. Several "community service" work opportunities (some off campus)
are also offered through this program. A student's FWS job earnings for the academic year
cannot exceed the dollar amount of their FWS award.
Once offered an award, the student has a limited time to come to the Financial Aid Office to accept that award before the offer expires. The student must then meet with the Financial Aid Office Student Employment Representative to arrange for a FWS job interview from the list of available jobs.
In addition to the requirements for all student employees, FWS employees must maintain financial aid eligibility. They must also be enrolled in and successfully complete at least 6 units each quarter they work. Student workers who fail to earn at least 6.0 financial-aid-eligible units any quarter they work or who fail to maintain a 2.0 Quarterly GPA will be ineligible to work the following quarter. Those who continue working after dropping below their required units could lose employment privileges for an additional quarter.
Unlike FWS jobs, there is no central listing of District-funded student jobs. To
find these job opportunities, students must go to the various departments to see whether
anyone is interested in hiring them. Once they are offered a job, they must meet with
the Student Employment Representative at the Financial Aid Office to complete the hiring process.
Enrollment requirements: Students in District-funded positions must be enrolled in and successfully completing at least 12 units each quarter they work (some exceptions exist for Summer). Students whose District-funded position is funded all or in part by CalWorks are only required to be enrolled in and completing 6 units each quarter they work. Student workers who fail to earn at least 12.0 units (6.0 units for CalWorks-funded employees) any quarter they work or who fail to maintain a 2.0 Quarterly GPA will be ineligible to work the following quarter. Students who continue working after dropping below their required units could lose employment privileges for an additional quarter.

Ira Sherman stated, "The Brain Injury Association of D.C. has focused on the needs of the community's most vulnerable population: youth and disabled athletes. As much as brain injury continues to be one of the lesser understood and appreciated health issues in our community, that is even more the case with these segments of the population," said Mr. Sherman. "We drafted this Act to be the most comprehensive of any law dealing with youth and disabled athletes and concussion. As the Nation's Capital, we should serve as a leader and set the example for other states to follow."
"While the national dialogue about this legislation has focused primarily on the protection of the youth athlete, we cannot ignore the consequences of a concussion on the academic learning and performance of the student-athlete," said Gerard Gioia, PhD, director of the Safe Concussion Outcome, Recovery & Education (SCORE) Program at Children's National. "Our current research finds adverse effects on school learning in close to 90% of students in our clinics, with significant worsening of post-concussion symptoms when they attempt cognitive tasks. In our experience, these problems persisted well beyond a month for many students. We must provide effective treatments that maximize the student's recovery and minimize any long-term post-concussion problems."
Kenneth Edmonds of the National Football League added this: "The NFL is playing a leading role in addressing the issue of concussions for our players as well as athletes at all levels, and in all sports." Edmonds touted the immediate and positive impact the law will make in Washington. He said this about the bill, "It will help to reinforce on this city's playgrounds the same rule that governs NFL fields. It is this: the medical decisions of health care professionals take precedent over the playing decisions and passions of coaches and players."
"The Washington Redskins believe that strict return-to-play guidelines should apply to youth athletes," said Larry Hess, the Washington Redskins' Head Athletic Trainer. "We know from medical experts that children and teenagers are more susceptible to the worst consequences of concussion and recover more slowly than adults. Young athletes should and must be protected. This bill does just that and the Redskins organization is pleased to support it."
According to recent research, concussions occur frequently in student-athletes, with 400,000 known occurrences at the high school level from 2005 to 2008. The functional effects of a concussion on youth athletes are wide ranging, affecting their thinking and learning, as well as their social and emotional functioning. The "Athletic Concussion Protection Act of 2011" would require a youth or disabled athlete to be removed from practice or play following a suspected concussion and allowed to return only after receiving written clearance by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions. The measure also would direct city agencies to develop an awareness and training program for coaches, youth athletes, parents and guardians as well as school personnel.
This bill is modeled after the Zackery Lystedt Law, enacted in the State of Washington in 2009. Lystedt-type laws – named after a student who was permanently disabled following a traumatic brain injury suffered while playing football at his junior high school – have since been passed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia and New Jersey.

Soooo much better than salon color!

I mix 7 N with 8N and add some 5R. This gets me to my original color. It says blonde but it's not. I end up with shiny medium brunette with reddish highlights in the light. It looks like highlights - I think because it covers the gray differently. Marginal coverage on the coarse gray hair on my temples.
Good coverage

I am trying this color to cover grey and my normally dark brown hair. I agree with other reviewers that the colors tend to be darker than pictured. Since I have to touch up roots frequently, this is a very affordable product and you do not have to use the entire box.
Shiny, perfect hair

Herbatint is natural hair color that makes my hair shiny and healthy. I have a lot of grey, so I mix Light Chestnut with Light Copper Chestnut for a beautiful, even coverage.

I've been using this brand for several years-- it's the only hair color (home OR salon) that doesn't make my scalp hurt/itch/burn and then give me a huge headache. It's not harsh, and does wash out/fade a little bit in the first week or so, but still has great shiny color. I love it!

Laws, regulations, executive orders -- all are being readied. All that's needed is the usual legal boilerplate and they'll appear in the Federal Register to decree, mystify and generally order us about.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Fiscal realities are ignored by official decree, and the day of reckoning put off for ever and ever. We're supposed to believe it'll never come. Happy times are here again. For a while, anyway.
. . .
We are all about to be inundated by this era's Wave of the Future. The undercurrent already tugs at our feet as Obamacare goes into muddy effect in state after state. Arbitrary rule by distant functionaries spreads, and the rule of law grows weaker.
. . .
Resistance is futile, conservatives are told -- repeatedly. Shut up, they explain. For we lost, didn't we? And it's winning that counts. It's not just the most important thing but the only thing. Call it the Vince Lombardization of the American ethos. "Loser" seems to have become the most damning, the most irreversible word in the American vocabulary.
It shouldn't be. Losing is a great opportunity -- to reassess a philosophy's strengths and weaknesses, and realize which are which. Some conservative tendencies are essential and others expendable, even harmful. Defeat clarifies such differences in a way triumph never could. Especially the difference between the high road and the wrong turn.
Losing can be a chance to regain perspective, get a grip, pull up our socks ... and realize that what looked all-important before an election wasn't. What seemed major turns out to be only minor in the bright light of the Morning After, when the binge is over, and it's time to face some realities, maybe even deal with them.
Think of these days as a kind of political Yom Kippur, a time to confess our sins, make atonement, and emerge cleansed at the end of the day, ready to do battle again. Only better.
Defeat is already having its usual, salutary results. See the emergence of a reasonable Republican position on illegal immigration -- a shift led by John McCain, who's been trying to turn his party around on this issue for years, and by Marco Rubio, the new senator from Florida and bright new hope for the GOP. Reason dawns. Instead of fighting the problem, why not try to solve it?
For a worthy and durable cause -- and what political cause is more worthy and more durable than conservatism? -- losing is less an end than an intermission. It's a welcome break from the sound and fury of the campaign. It affords the losers a chance to heal, re-think and even reform.
We forget what an education losing can be. Who has ever learned from victory? And who has not learned from defeat? A great cause can survive defeat. It's surviving victory that's the real challenge.
. . .
Losing calls for its own kind of heroism. It is not the Churchill who triumphs at the end of his life that we recall with the greater admiration, but the querulous backbencher who spent a decade warning about the Gathering Storm, and would not be still despite being cast into political exile.
It is not the Lincoln celebrating victory while the band plays on who lifts our eyes and soul, but the Whig lawyer who spent decades fighting the Slave Power only to be defeated at every turn -- the Fugitive Slave Act, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott Decision -- but who would not go quietly, knowing his time and freedom's would come. Even as he was engulfed by his own Wave of the Future, he would not go quietly. And he would be heard.
Elections come and go, but principles endure. The best of causes has risen from defeat, the worst have been encouraged by their early triumphs. Napoleon was invincible, fascism was The New Order, and communism was historically inevitable -- at first. Their defeat should teach us all something about the transience of temporal power.
But we seem to have lost any appreciation for losing in this country. The notion that it is better to lose in a good cause than win in a bad one comes to seem foreign, strange, un-American -- when it is considered at all.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Those getting Social Security checks have less than two months to switch to electronic payments.
In an effort to cut costs, paper checks are being phased out. About 93 percent of payments are now made electronically.
But about five million checks are still mailed each month.
The U.S. Treasury Department says that mailing costs $4.6 million a month. Those who fail to switch over will still get paper checks after March 1.
A Treasury spokesman says the department will contact those people in a "more personal, direct way" to ask them to switch.

Last night in Jacksonville, Will Muschamp made a promise to a Florida booster club. In his first two seasons as the Gators' coach, his squad has been beaten by his alma mater — Georgia — twice, 24-20 in 2011 and 17-9 in 2012. He's now vowed to turn things around when it comes to the Bulldogs:
"Well, it's not going to be a long winning streak, I can assure you. We feel very comfortable. Obviously, last year, when you turn the ball over six times, you're not going to win many games. You turn it over six times and give up 17 points, you (still) put yourself in a situation where you can win the game.
We fought through a lot of adversity we created for ourselves in the game. It just didn't work out. We turned the ball over two years ago twice inside our 20-yard line, which resulted in 14 points. So, that obviously doesn't help you win games either.
There are some simple solutions. Take care of the football. As far as playing the game and winning the game, we understood what was at stake last year. Very disappointed for our football team and the Gator Nation that we didn't get the job done. Looking forward to the game this year."
The past two games combined, Florida has committed eight turnovers against Georgia. It should be noted, however, that part of the reason those games were still tight was the fact that the Bulldogs coughed the ball up to the Gators four times. Both games were sloppy. Georgia was simply the least sloppy team on the field.
On that note, it seems we picked the right day to post our breakdown of six years worth of SEC turnover data.

UGA's White: "Blood Is Definitely Going To Run Hot This Weekend"
October 27th, 2011 01:30 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Florida, Georgia
Tags: Aron White, Georgia, Tim Tucker
Georgia tight end and team leader Aron White is fired up for Saturday's game with Florida. And from what he told Tim Tucker of The AJC, he knows the game will have its heated moments:
"People get a little tight during Florida week and that's the way it's always been. That's fans, players, staff, coaches, everybody. Everybody just gets a little more serious during Florida week. There's not as much joking around. That's just across the board. That's everybody…
Blood is definitely going to run hot this weekend. I'm sure at some point something will happen that everybody will say was uncalled for or the emotions got the best of us, whether it's on their side or on our side. We've both been caught doing some antics down there. My freshman year we ran out on the field. The year after that they had us blown ou by a pretty good lead and they started calling some timeouts late. But all that's out the window and it's a new year and we're going to come out and we're going to play. And while we didn't forget those things, we're going to focus on our gameplan and we're going to need to because guys that get caught up in all that emotion usually lose. It's the players that stay focused and do what they do best, they usually win."
The Gators won last year's game 34-31 in overtime. The three previous games — two Florida wins and one Georgia win — were decided by an average of 25 points.
